Our Breeding Practices

Behaviour and socialisation

When breeding, it is important to me to give each pup the best possible start I can, with environmental enrichment, age appropriate challenges and experiences, and a good start on their socialisation a critical part of how I raise each litter.

Health

I undertake recommended health testing on my breeding dogs, with hip and elbow scoring, eye testing and DNA testing undertaken as a matter of course. Breeding decisions are made with the intent to minimise the risk of any hereditary health problems in pups. A good healthy beginning also goes without saying, and…

Home environment

My dogs don't live in a kennel environment, but as part of the family home, and so my numbers at home will always be small. As such, the younger dogs I show, and many of the girls who I breed with, don't actually live with me, but are pups I have bred, whose owners have very kindly allowed me to remain part of…

Pups head to their new homes with a raft of information, documentation and support, but more importantly full breeder support and advice for their life time. All pups are registered with the Australian National Kennel Council with a certified pedigree certificate, and microchipped, wormed, vaccinated (first…

A little about us

I have been involved with Finnish Lapphunds now for over 17 years, and bred my first litter in 2007. I am a member of a number of Lapphund Clubs around the world, and was the founding and ongoing President of the Finnish Lapphund of Victoria for its first 10 years before taking my "long service leave" break in 2019…

Why we got involved in breeding

Dogs have always played a part in my family’s life – from the elderly Sheltie of my toddler years, to the range of “mixed-heritage” dogs who wandered through my childhood, to the beloved GSDX of my early 20s. It was our Keeshond, Schatje, who turned a love into a dog-obsession, coming into our lives with a…

Our special touch

Armahani means “my precious beloved” in Finnish, and in keeping with true treasure, will always remain small and selective. I do not breed frequently, and when I do it is with a focus on ensuring the pups that leave here have the physical and mental capability to do the job they were bred to do, capable of working,…
